DR.. j. S. Curtis, whose portrait appears
herewith, is ct present extensively &dver
tised to the people CT Dallas and sur
rounding country as & physician, surgeon
and specialist, in the case of certain
chronic diseases. His claims to tue con-
fidenCe ana patronage of the puThc are
set forth in numerous testimsnials, press
notices, etc, and as far as theseeyidences,
of his character are TO be taken IS true
he comes well recommended. But the
best evidence OF skill in Lis profeSssd
business, trade, profession or pursuit, is
that given by the neurological develop
meut of he claimantss.e he physician or
blacksmith, lawyer or 'iaechanic In the
presence of the eXpa t phrenolOgist the
DISCUSSES OF life fail TO the ground, the
charlatan is exposed, the clumsy operator
conf0unded and the true m-rit of charaC-
ter possessing value appreciated.
The following facts regarding DR.. Cur
tbs were developed after careful pnreuo
logical examination made At the Grand
Windsor hotel on Monday, January 10,
1887, by Prof. William Windsor. DR..
Curtis, as viii be inferred from the por-
trait above, is dark cOmpleXioned, pre-
possessing gentleman Of pOrtly appear
ance, Slightly above medium height, and
weighing 1876 pounds. HIS hair is slightly
tinged with gray in the regions of the
temples, and the temperature of tae from

of the intellectual lobe of the brain. BE
is American born, being native Of Cape
May, n. j., a graduate Of Cincinnati COl-'
lege of Medicine and Surgery, class Of
1878, and shows unmstGkable evidence of
having travelled extensively and developed
the faculties most useful in the demands
of his profession.

siveness, well nourished by strong sitsl

in any profession in which he may see lit

DR.. Curtis, however, possesses the de-
velopment pecuftsr to the ideal physician.
1t would have been q neral wrong for him
to sacrifice mis- presemincnt abilities in
this direction to any o.her calling. His
temperament Is strong Bilious-Vital,
combining tenaCity, executive and in
tellectual force with strong putritive
powers, warm sympathy, kindness and
social qualities.
The occipital region is largely deveiz
oped, and his strong Amatlveness and
Philopr0genitiveness enable him to obtain
in a remarkable degree the confidence OF
women and children. To such patients
he has magnetic presence, inspiring
hope and confidence, which is an abSO-
lutte necessity in the treatment of all
classes of persons, and does more good
than medicine. Ladies and children OF
delicate sensitive organization will fire.
